Magnetic locking solutions

Electromagnetism has been popularly used to lock doors since the 1960’s. At Rickard Security, we offer a range of magnetic locks to fit a wide variety of applications. Our mag solutions offer a compelling case over conventional door entry systems or electric strike locks. The rapid response associated with mag lock devices, combined with the durability of Rickard-supplied locks, makes these systems invaluable in high traffic environments where electronic identity or access authentication are required.

Our customers usually choose to go with Rickard magnetic door access solutions because they are:

Manufactured to some of the highest standards in the industry

Quick to install – even by professionals with little installation experience

Easy to maintain

Produced with no moving parts – leaving little or no room for damage or degradation

Extremely durable, especially in high traffic areas

Responsive and immediate to activate – thus allowing faster entry/exit from and to access controlled areas

Our magnetic locks are highly adaptable in their use, and may be used to support either out-swinging or in-swinging applications. For typical out-swinging use, installation of the electromagnetic components is done on the side of the door header. For in-swinging needs, electromagnetic components are mounted on the opening corner of the door’s header.

Some of our mag locks and associated components include:

Mortice magnet (ME201)

Mortice magnet monitored (ME211)

Mini magnet (ME400)

Mini magnet monitored + led (ME420)

Double mini magnet (ME600)

Double mini magnet monitored + led (ME620)

Electric door entry devices

Rickard Security offers a wide variety of electric door entry devices. Depending on the application you may have in mind, an electric door lock could offer you a much better security advantage over other options. They are an especially great choice when installed with doors that swing outwards, from inside a protected premises, and that use cylindrical locks.

The reason for this added security feature is that the latch of an electric strike lock is exposed, even more so than that of an electric door locking device, making the former a much more tempting target for break-ins and burglars.

Our electric locks are available for use in two distinct modes:

Fail Safe Mode: The fail safe mode is usually ideal where you need to consider the security of inhabitants, residents and guests inside your premises. In the event of a power failure or electrical outage, fail safe mode locks will automatically unlock, allowing people to exit or enter the door without restriction

Fail Secure Mode: The fail secure mode may be ideal where you need your property to be secured in the event of electric power disruption. When power is cut off to doors with a fail secure lock, the door is automatically locked, preventing the entry or exit of people from the room/building

What makes Rickard Security electric door entry systems so effective is that they may be used as part of a comprehensive security apparatus. They may be integrated into an overall access control system, providing even greater layered security options for residential, commercial and industrial property owners and operators.

Some of the electric door entry devices and components that you may find of interest include:

Rim latch 8-12Vac + mortice plate (N203/MP)

Mortice latch remain open when energized 8-12Vac (NRO)

Ingersoll SC71 chrome 12Vac (ING/C)

Mortice latch with deadlock aperture 12Vac (GE)

Mortice latch 12Vdc (30102B)

Electric strike locking solutions

Sometimes, your particular access control needs might not be met with magnetic solutions, especially if the area being secured is prone to high velocity magnetic interference. If that’s the case, then a magnetic lock might not be ideal for you. In the event that you do find a magnetic door lock is not to your liking, you might want to take a closer look at electric strike locking solutions.

If your application requires the use of a variety of latch bolt locksets instead of conventional lock strike plates, then an electric strike is ideal for you. An electric strike lock is an electromechanical door entry device that uses low voltage to control access to doors.

Here at Rickard Security, we offer our clients a large variety of electric strike door locking solutions as well. So, if you are looking for choice, then you’re sure to find what you are looking for in our catalogue. Our strike locking solutions can be used for various purposes, including stairwell security, controlling access to interior doors, securing fire exits, perimeter control and controlled access to elevators.

Our electric strike locking device and component choices include:

Rim strike fail safe (TS151)

Rim strike fail secure (TS152)

Rim latch 8-12Vac + mortice plate (N203/MP)

Mortice latch remain open when energized 8-12Vac (NRO)

Keypads for door entry solutions

Carting a bunch of keys is not always convenient. Key-based door access is often quite cumbersome, especially if there are a large number of inhabitants needing keys, or if there are many doors and access points to the premises for which keys are required.

While a Rickard Security supplied innovative door entry solution, like a mag lock or other electronic or electric access system may work for you, many of our clients are turning to the keypad doorlock as an alternate solution. And here’s why:

With no keys necessary to gain access to the door, you’ll never need to spend money cutting keys for new inhabitants or guests!

And since there are no keys required, you’ll save lots of money in terms of making new keys or replacing old or lost keys!
